As a nation state, Italy has emerged only in 1871. Until then the country was politically divided into a large number of independant cities, provinces and islands. The currently available evidences point out to a dominant Etruscan, Greek and Roman cultural influence on today's Italians.

Because its out of consideration for the people stuck on dial up and have slow connections. It should be a certain size or whatever, and while I tried making mine miniscual, it still doesn't show up so I put it back to the way it was but I don't think anyone can see it.. *shrug*

'If you never open doors to let anyone in, no one can get in, but neither can you get out.'

I had a picture of myself to represent myself. I'm simple like that but I'm sure there are symbols and pictures I'd think were more attractive than my face.. LOL... I should have thought of that sooner..

Its just too difficult to post a picture because not everyone has the bandwidth and connection speed to handle the images.

1. Boil pasta with 1 tablespoon of salt in the water. While the pasta is boiling mix garlic with 1 tablespoon water in small bowl; set aside.
2. Heat oil, garlic mixture, red pepper flakes, and anchovies in large skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently, until garlic is fragrant but not brown, 2to3 min. Stir in tomatoes and simmer until slightly thickened, about 8 min.
3. Return cooked pasta to pot and add Ã‚Â¼ cup reserved tomato juice and toss to combine.
4. Stir capers, olives and parsley into sauce. Pour sauce over pasta and toss to combine, adding more tomato juice to moisten if necessary.
5. Serve immediately.

For a bread choice, anything is good with this, toasted first, then each piece rubbed with a garlic clove (cut) then olive oil.. its yummy.

I also like a spinach salad with this.

My friend serves an appetizer with it, I believe it was mozarella sliced with a leaf of spinach on top, then a tomato on top of that, and balsamic vinegar dashed on the plate of these... (( Sorry I don't know what they are called but that was really good too))

Edited to add, I left the anchovies out of it last night and it was still delicious! My kitchen was a disaster though! Clean as you go, some of this stuff gets messy..
